In vaguely related news, Microsoft has given its Xbox 360 controller a slight refresh. The upgrade extends as far as making the d-pad more responsive, and less 'mushy' to use, if rumour is to be believed. Aesthetically there's no change, so you won't have to hide your old controllers in shame when your mates come over, but if you've tried playing any game that needed heavy use of the d-pad, you'll know why the upgrade is a worthwhile one.
